When updating to the newest client 6.12.26 I forgot to allow all users access to boincmgr. Now, how do I fix that short of reinstalling completely from scratch? If I run the installer again, it will give me repair or remove options but the repair does not offer to set permission for all users again.

Yes, Uninstalling Boinc only removes Boinc from the Program files Directory, all User data is stored separately in the Boinc Data directory,

OK, done that and everything works now. Except: I am getting an empty Windows 7 message box titled "BOINC screensaver diagnostic error" whenever the screensaver tries to start on all the non-admin user accounts.
